    Shrimp Tostadas and a Pina Colada (that as my wife discovered can indeed come with an extra shot of rum!).
    Greg S.

    We do not like Pina Coladas. We never have. Having said that, the Pina Coladas at Coccoloba have changed our lives. We still do not order them anywhere else, but we will look forward to (dream about) them all year long until we can return and have one here. I would also highly recommend their Shrimp Tostadas. They pair nicely. We've never had a bad dish here, but the Pina Coladas and Shrimp Tostadas are our go to for lunch when on the beach or a sunset dinner at the restaurant. Service is friendly and quick. Cannot. Go. Wrong.

    Grilled Octopus tacos

    Phenomenal tacos on the beach! We loved the tacos with grilled octopus, also the shrimp and the chicken tinga! My wife loved the grilled tuna & Mexican rice (it was incredible, I had to try it)! Slight heads up...on Taco Tuesday, they are busy and have to manage the demand via a limited yet delicious menu

    If you like Pina Colada's, this is your place.   If you don't like them get one anyway. It's great.

    Two words: Pina Colada. That's the review. Don't pass it by. Just go. Now. It's worth it with a beautiful beach sunset behind you.

    Amazing view, tasty dishes, impeccable service, lovely weather, outstanding honeymoon. Our stay here with the room, view and weather has nothing but spectacular. This place offers take out for the beach for food and drinks even if you don't stay here.

    This is the view from our seats.

    Manager was super nice cause we showed up early (15 minutes) while they were having a meeting and he we was very nice to seat us and give us menus and took our drink orders. Beverly came over to check on us and introduced herself after our meals were served. Seems like a lot of team work was going on here and everyone was very friendly. We were in and out in 30 minutes and fully satisfied with not much food left behind between the 4 of us. We ordered chips and salsa to start which came with 3 different salsas. . I ordered the ceviche and they ordered fish tacos, elote and a chicken quesadilla. Everyone loved their orders and I tried some of each of ours which were outstanding! My ceviche was very delicious. I would go back for more but too many more places to try while here! We are so glad we tried this restaurant on the beach! The salsas were very good too!

    One of the BEST spots to eat on seven mile beach (maybe in the entire area). The food was amazing, the drinks were perfect, and the view was mind blowing ! Parking: We had issues parking at other restaurants but not here ! They have a huge parking lot available (which I assume is for the hotel as well as the restaurant). Location: The restaurant is behind the hotel, right on the beach. It is actually on 7 mile beach so if you're going for a beach stroll, you could stop here for a drink or snack. I loved that there were well lit (but not over powering) walkways to the hotel and parking lot in the evening. Seating: We opted for a beach table which was right on the sand - it's the closest spot to the water. I assume it could be a bit loud mid-day at this spot, but as the sun was going down most of the beach goers had left so it was a lovely quiet and intimate setting. Each beach table had its own umbrella and table lamp as well. There's also interior and patio seating, as well as bar seating. Food/drink: Our waitress said they're known for their Pina coladas and margaritas, so we opted for the Pina coladas. They were definitely the right choice! You can get a Virginia one as well. All the food was delicious- great mexican/Spanish flare but also a lot of seafood options which is just what we wanted ! I went with the fish tacos and they were perfection! It wasn't on the menu, but you can also order guacamole with your salsa appetizer (which we did). Service: The service was great! Our waitress was very sweet and had a lot of recommendations for us. One day when we walked by, they had a mariachi band playing. That was neat and we were a bit sad they weren't there the day we ate there. Overall, this place was just what I imagined when i thought of beach front dining. I highly recommend it and will definitely return.

    Another Kimpton Seafire restaurant, right by the beach. You can literally pull up a chair facing the ocean. We have ate here a couple time, its super convenient. We have been happy with the food and the service. The best tacos are the pork, hands down. We've had them all. They can accommodate Gluten Free on all the tacos except the Pork, which is a bummer for Celiacs. The second best thing was the Shrimp roll, which was on a hogie. Different topping to the shrimp tacos, and was actually better. For chips and salsa, we had fried plantains in lue of tortilla chips which were cross contaminated. I would actually recommend these!

    We loved Coccoloba Grand Cayman!! We ordered the Painkillah 30 and YOU SHOULD TOO!! Gorgeous beach and AWESOME experience! Wow.

    Coccoloba was SO MUCH FUN!! Beautiful beach views ~ Awesome staff ~ Great food!! If you're visiting Grand Cayman ~ don't miss Coccoloba!

    Most amazing staff who helped pull off a surprise engagement!

    This is one of the few restaurants on 7 Mile Beach with expansive beachfront with access to the sand; there are so many seats with ocean view and tables on the sand. Also you can go swim and come back to the restaurant and eat. This is also great for kids because of that reason. Drinks and food are great! And absolutely beautiful views!!! The highlight is the service. Big shout out to Paula and Arpi! We got engaged here, which was a complete surprise, and all the staff were instrumental in taking pictures, getting footage and just making it perfect! We dined here many times throughout our trip!

    Spicy Margarita (mezcal).
    B.J. G.

    Located behind the Kimpton, Coccoloba offers a great view of the ocean and is a perfect place to catch the sunset. A more casual, laid back beach feel. Light and airy. We are in the palapa area though it seems there's an indoor dining option as well. Started off with the spicy Margarita (mezcal) which came in a skull tiki-style mug. Kitschy but apropos. The drink was, indeed, nicely spicy with smokey, vegetal notes. We started with a ceviche which was fine. The highlight is that we were able to get some of the chicharron; a dish they apparently and deservedly are well-known for! (Normally available for the after 6p dinner menu, we were lucky to get it a few minutes early). It's a fairly big serving. The rinds are light and fluffy, not burdened by too much oil, with a very slight hint of garlic. Served with a soy sauce-based dipping sauce which was good and interesting but not necessary for you to wallow in the porky goodness of the rinds! Wife had fish tacos while I opted for the shrimp tostones. Mine came in little "boats" that tasted mildly fried? The shrimp was juicy and fresh-tasting. Came here also for the sunset which was fantastic. As evening arrived, so did the bugs. It wasn't like you were wading around in the Congo or anything but they were noticeable. If you're coming after sunset, bring bug spray or maybe opt for indoor seating. Pro tip: we took this bus up here from the Marriott region. When you leave, CHECK GOOGLE MAPS and make sure you cut back to West Bay Road!! We accidentally wandered onto the HIGHWAY and defied death by walking for about a mile before realizing our mistake (the high speed of traffic and dearth of buses was a big clue), correcting and making our way back to WB Rd. Or better yet, splurge and grab a cab. Sunsets and chicharron for life!

    This is my most favorite restaurant on the island. I loved it so much I got dinner there two days in a row during my four night visit. The location and view is so beautiful, the vibes are immaculate, the service is amazing, and the food and drinks are seriously to die for. Can't recommend it enough!

We were pleasantly surprised by their outdoor dining area right on the water and the tarpon swimming along side the deck (fun fact if you have kids, they feed the tarpon at 7:30pm and if you order seafood, you can chuck your bones and leftovers into the water for the fish). Service was quick and friendly. We were seated promptly, orders taken, and food delivered all in reasonable time. We ordered the conch chowder and calamari to start and both were very good. The fried snapper came with escovitch on top (pickled onions and carrots) along with beans and rice, veggies, and plantains. The whole fish was perfectly fried and crisp. The plantains were a surprisingly nice touch of sweetness and the escovitch added some extra flavor to the fish. Kids got the shrimp linguini and fried shrimp which they both liked (and enjoyed tossing the tails in the water for the tarpon to finish off). All of this was chased down by a caybrew bottle. A great meal at a reasonable price in a beautiful spot. Note that this restaurant is close to the cruise port so on port days, it's likely very busy during lunch.

The food is definitely the highlight here. The drinks were just okay and didn't really stand out, so it's probably best to stick with wine or beer if you're ordering beverages.

All in all, a very nice spot with solid food and a convenient, enjoyable location.

    I chose this place expecting a solid take on Caribbean staples. What I received was the opposite…read more The Rasta pasta was a pale, watery dish with no trace of jerk flavor...none. It lacked the richness, spice, and depth that define it. Instead, it felt diluted and unfinished, as if the key elements never made it into the pan. The "curry goat" was even more disappointing. The sauce was thin to the point of being soupy, with little to no curry presence. The dish had no body, no warmth, no layering of flavor just water where there should have been depth. Even the rice was off, adding nothing to salvage the plate. These are foundational dishes in Caribbean cuisine. To miss the mark on both so completely is not a small oversight it's a fundamental failure in execution. I've included photos for context, because the presentation reflects the experience.

I want to say thank you for such a WONDERFUL evening for our anniversary. The service, the food, the music, and the atmosphere was a lovely experience. We opted for tapas and the ribeye with the mushroom sauce. We ordered the sizzling shrimp, lamb skewers, pork meatballs, lobster bisque, and the mussels in a cream sauce. The sizzling shrimp were fresh and cooked perfectly in a garlic butter sauce. The lobster bisque was creamy and smooth with a wonderful depth of flavor. The lamb skewers were juicy and it was served with garlic aioli. The pork meatballs were good, but the mussels which were served in a garlic cream sauce was so delicious. We selected the mushroom sauce with our ribeye steak. It was cooked perfectly and the mushroom sauce tasted good with both the steak and the mashed potatoes. Wednesday night was Paella night.

I liked the Brussels sprouts and Cesar salad. The mashed potato was interesting as it tasted like it had sour cream mixed in? Overall ambiance: 4 Service: 3 Food: 3

The mains were the star, with the fresh catch of the day being perfectly prepared and the sides being on point. Where they really lost me was the service.
